Walter Scott Allen, was born in Fruit Hill Section of Edgefield, S.C. (presently Saluda County) and was a brother of Ossamus W., Washington D., and James H. Allen. He entered the Confederate Army as a Private with the 14th South Carolina Volunteers, Company K. He was severely wounded in the battle of Gaines Mill, Va., in the right arm near the shoulder and slightly in the head. He was slightly wounded in the breast at Chancellorsville, but did not leave the field. He had his clothes completely riddled at Gettysburg, but no wounds. On the the third day at Gettysburg, his gus stock was entirely shot off, but the shock did not even knock the gun out of his hand. He was complimented on both of these days by his commanding officer, Colonel Abner Perrin, commanding the brigade. He was severely wounded through the face at Spottsylvania Court House, in 1864, and in special orders by Colonel J.N. Brown of the 14th Regiment, S.C. Volunteers, was complimented for his distinguished conduct and bravery on the occasion and was recommended to the Secretary of War for a commission. The Secretary appointed him a 2nd Lieutenant in the Confederate States Army and the same day he was promoted to Captain of Company K, 14th Regiment South Carolina Volunteers. After sufficiently recovering from his wounds, he returned to Virginia and took command of his company and commanded the same around Petersburg, Va.. And at the surrender at Appomattox, he commanded not only his own company, but also six other companies of the regiment. He married Frances E. Adams and had eleven children.
